<p>In this episode we explore the link between accessibility and public health with Spandita Sarmah (Tandon '23), a human-centered designer whose experience at Google, T-Mobile, and Deloitte focuses on creating a healthier world for everyone. This episode delves into Spandita's journey from software engineering, fine arts, and graphic design to her passion for user research and her advocacy for designing "with," not "for," users. Discover how her work, including the development of a hand gesture recognition system to aid individuals with fine motor impairments and her insights on tactile alternatives for those with vision impairment, challenges conventional design standards. Learn why inclusive design is essential for equitable access to health resources, promoting overall well-being, and fostering environments where all individuals, regardless of their abilities, can thrive and fully participate in society. We'll discuss how accessibility impacts everything from digital experiences to physical spaces, ultimately contributing to a more just and healthy community.</p> <p>To learn more about the NYU School of Global Public Health, and how our innovative programs are training the next generation of public health leaders, visit http://www.publichealth.nyu.edu.</p>

<p>In this episode, we explore the collaboration between Rimsha Minhaz, an MPH student with a background in dentistry, and Dr. Wilson Wang, a pediatrician, health professional, and founder of WD Home and CEO of World Doctors. Driven by a desire to address disparities in healthcare access—a passion ignited by her experiences in outreach programs in South India—Rimsha pursued a Master of Public Health degree at NYU GPH. It was at NYU GPH that Rimsha's path intersected with Dr. Wang's when she took his course on data-driven decision making. Inspired by Dr. Wang's dedication to public health, including his work during the Ebola outbreak, Rimsha is now working with him through WD Home on a project focused on older person care management. This is a story of how passion meets purpose, and how a new generation of public health leaders is shaping a healthier future.</p> <p>Read Balancing Action and Reflection, a perspective piece by Rimsha Minhaz: <a href= "https://publichealth.nyu.edu/events-news/news/2024/12/02/balancing-action-and-reflection"> https://publichealth.nyu.edu/events-news/news/2024/12/02/balancing-action-and-reflection</a></p> <p>WD-Home: <a href="https://wd-home.co">https://wd-home.co</a></p> <p>To learn more about the NYU School of Global Public Health, and how our innovative programs are training the next generation of public health leaders, visit <a href= "http://www.publichealth.nyu.edu">http://www.publichealth.nyu.edu</a>.</p> <p> </p>
